When King Anan arrived, that dim-witted member of the Clay Race still thought they were searching for the Demon Emperor's whereabouts.
Just then, King Anan suddenly struck, seizing the Clay Race member and dragging him out.
King Anan chuckled. "You Clay Race cur, you actually dared to lay hands on Senluo."
"If Senluo weren't so wary of outsiders, he probably would have fallen into your trap."
But then King Anan looked at the Demon Emperor beside him. "Why do you look so strange? Don't tell me you obtained the Clay Race's innate ability?"
The Demon Emperor nodded slightly. "Yes. When I ate that Clay Race member, I actually inherited his innate ability by accident."
Only then did the Clay Race member realize what had happened.
"You actually... you're utterly shameless!"
"How could you possibly inherit our race's innate ability? That's absolutely impossible."
The Demon Emperor reverted directly to his true form. "What do you think now?"
He shifted forms at will, even effortlessly copying the Crimson Flame Fire Spirit beside him.
At that moment, the Crimson Flame Fire Spirit, the Clay Race member, and King Anan all looked at the Demon Emperor with complicated expressions. "You're a real freak."
Amid his shock, the Clay Race member blurted out, "You're a Pureblood Golden Crow! No wonder you can identify members of the Clay Race so easily."
"As long as you let me go back, our Clay Race is willing to withdraw from the Silent Netherworld and move far away."
"Wherever a Pureblood Golden Crow appears, we're willing to retreat three leagues."
Demon Emperor Daochen gave him a disdainful glance. "Not unless you have your ancestor cripple his own cultivation. As long as he's willing to destroy his half-step Hongmeng Realm strength, I'll believe you."
The Clay Race member was instantly speechless.
